Good Morning Sunshine, CD album

Uline.com is where I got these folders.

I am going to miss this paper. I wasn't crazy about it, but now that I have worked with it, I love the cheerfulness of it!

It would brighten the day of anyone sad, and would uplift someone who needed to be lifted up..!!!

I put the colors together using the colors in the papers, but adding Chocolate Chip. The Chocolate coordinates with some of the papers. If you saw this blog entry this morning, I changed the photos...re-took it wiht my daughter's camera. I was having fun with this project...

My absence from blogging is due to working on Grad Nite for my daughter's school. This time of year is always busy, but I like being involved with her school and getting to know the "kids". I kinda snaked this in early before leaving for work....

Next year will be her graduation, and it will be all over....sad....ok, not too sad..She's already telling me she is "over with High School"......lol

I decided to use lots of buttons and punched flowers. I think I might have overdone it, but I got carried away having so much fun punching them out and layering them. I had a vision of placing them around the oval (from the Sizzix oval scallop frame) but I still think I did too much!

I will take better photos (especially of the inside)...

ok, gotta get ready for work........!!

Cheep Talk and Good Morning Sunshine

Are you getting tired of these cards? I hope not...because the colors although challenging, are really fun colors. They do brighten up my morning, and I am happy to see them!!!

When I was stamping this card, and the phrase, I was thinking of Randy Newman and Toy Story, ..."you've got a friend in me...".

Just in case you're wondering...I am still waiting for my order and my new catalog...It got caught in some problem that Stampin' Up was having on May 31st...and I am not happy.............. :(

More Cheep Talk and Good Morning Sunshine!

After cutting a strip from this paper, I was left with a strip that had the the pear at the top of the strip. I thought, why not punch it out..so punching it with the Summer Sun paper, and then layering it dimensionally over the Kiwi Cardstock and then tying the Kiwi Striped ribbon, and layering that over the So Saffron....

I then thought it needed some stamping, so I added the birdie after layering it with Summer Sun and Chocolate Chip.....

it isn't my favorite of all the cards, but it did take some time to construct and think...and isn't that part of the fun of making cards???


Only another week of school left...what are your children or family doing this summer??

Good Morning Sunshine

I actually love pears. I love the texture of pears and my boss gave me a Korean pear at Christmas time. I don't much about them except they don't look like these pears at all.

(they are big and round)

These pears remind me of a Partridge in a pear tree....don't you think so too?

Trying to use the papers in a different way was not as easy as I thought it would be. I was really not having fun with some of the colors. I struggle with some combinations, and this definitely is one of those combinations.

Chocolate, and Kiwi. Actually this designer paper wasn't something that appealed to me so I didn't get it right away. I finally ordered it because it was on special.





The wide stitched chocolate ribbon coordinates really well with this paper...and the little pear in the Cheep Talk set is perfect too! I love the little stem and how it can also be a stem for the flower in the same set....!!!

What are you going to miss from the retirement list???

Owl wish you....Happy Birthday

Sherrill challenged us with decorating owls...

So, I pulled out my owl, and pondered... and then..went to bed...

For the last few weeks, I just kept thinking about this....

Finally, I had a dream..and thought of punching circles to make feathers!!!

The funny part is I was going to show my daughter my owl, and she told me that she had a funny dream....(now, I haven't shown her anything yet.....)

.......She dreamed that she was holding blue fuzzy owls. Baby Owls. They were blue. She couldn't tell what they were, only they were blue fuzzy things. As the dream progressed, she said they were in Chinese take out boxes, and then...they opened their eyes, and they were HUGE and blue too!

I showed her what I was working on , and we just cracked up...maybe it was a premonition???

I added this to a card...I just got this paper!

I couldn't resist doing a OWL phrase...I was cracking myself up coming up with a whole bunch of OWL phrases..!!!

What can you come up with???

Owl BE BACK!!! (Terminator owl!)

ooh, I crack myself up..!!!! hee hee!

The Retirement list is out! Be sure to ORDER EARLY! This list will change! I won't be able to keep updated all the time....

I thank everyone who requested a WOW box tutorial!

I have to mention that I have seen some boxes that were "over the top so wonderful that I can't believe that they took something that I learned how to do to make an even more wonderful project!!!"

I wanted to give a special shout to Sam Slimak

Visit her blog!!!
